BYU Rolls, Cal Survives in Varsity Cup Semis
It will be BYU and Cal once again in the Varsity Cup final, but it almost wasn't.
BYU was once again formidable, with the Whippy brothers right in the middle of the action. Josh Whippy scored two early tries and Jared Whippy converted them and added a penalty which, along with tries from Zane Mendenhall and Josh Anderson, staked BYU to a 27-8 halftime lead over Arkansas State.
DI College Games This Weekend - Playoffs Continue
It's all about playoff time this week.
All of the games we list are between ranked teams. We've got Varsity Cup semis, the DIAA quarters, and the DIA quarters, as well. Note, of course, that Air Force plays Cal Poly in the DIA first round game that was snowed out last week. The quarterfinal against St. Mary's will be played Sunday.

It could be.
